PaRappa the Rapper coming to the PSP

First Gitaroo Man comes to the PSP, and now PaRappa the Rapper is coming to …

The PSP is one of my favorite systems, mostly because it's the only portable that lets me listen to "This American Life" from my CD rips in between sessions of The Warriors. The DS can do a lot of things, but the PSP is the clear winner if you're looking for a nice portable media player. The only problem is that the wait between games I'm interested in can be slightly longer than is comfortable. I'm not a man above ports, so the news that the PSP is going to be getting a version of PaRappa the Rapper is welcome. We were already impressed by the Gitaroo Man port, so this is just gravy. From the press release:

Featuring all the characters, levels and songs from the original, PaRappa The Rapper increases the franchise's social appeal by offering a host of new PSP exclusive features, including the ability for up to four PSP systems to go head-to-head in ad-hoc battles; wirelessly share a demo level through Game Share; and use the PSP Infrastructure Mode to download eight additional playable remixes for players to rap along to.

I think it's best to quote Cheep Cheep here:

The other day, I was called a little turkey
But I'm a chicken, got it? Ya beef jerky!

The game should be available in July. We live in a world were we can enjoy multiplayer, portable Parappa the Rapper, and that's just okay with me.
